Chapter Ten

As the mist engulfed us, Alarik pumped that vine like a lasso and he flung it. Miraculously, it hooked on something and he yanked us back toward the cliff.

I screamed at the sight of the rock face rising up to meet us, but he tugged hard on me, causing my own hand on the vine—which I hadn’t even realized was still gripping it for dear life—to slip as we moved down the length of the plant, ripping off little sprouting leaves as we fell.

I kept screaming and screaming and then we tumbled forward—into a hole in the rock face. We ran out of vine to slide down then and we still had to jump a couple of feet, stumbling, Alarik grunting as he wrapped himself around me with both arms and we rolled, tumbling and tumbling until stopped by a wall.

It was finally over. But my insides hadn’t gotten that memo. My heart racing, I gasped for shallow breaths, finding each one harder and harder to form.

“Aurora,” said Alarik. Seizing up, he let out a little grunt of pain as he shifted behind me, gently pushing me forward to put some space between us. He rolled me over so we were lying on the hard ground face to face. He took my cheeks in his hands, his one palm slightly rubbery and rough—the one that’d slipped us down the length of the vine, no doubt. “We’re alive,” he said. “We made it.” His voice was soft, like a mother trying to console a panicked child.

Closing my eyes, I counted my breaths. Despite the pain I felt at each inhale, I told myself I could still breathe. I just had to believe I could make do with the air I could get.

His own breaths were shallow beside me and we both lay there, quietly breathing for a while longer until I felt a light touch on my forehead and I opened my eyes to find him pulling his lips away.

This guy was nuts on so many levels.

I sat up, groaning as my head spun and I cradled it. “I can see in here,” I said, blinking. A violet light radiated from shiny spots along the walls.

Alarik shifted to sit up beside me. “There’s starlight in this mountain,” he explained.

“Starlight?” I asked, confused again by his reliance on that word. He’d compared my hair to starlight before.

He grunted and turned a hand toward the wall just slightly. “It’s what we call the sparkling crystals,” he said. “Since it reminds us so much of the sky at night.” He stared at me then, and I could feel the way he looked at me—not necessarily that he was undressing me with his eyes, but that he was just in awe of me.

I had no freaking idea why, though.

I took stock of my clothes and popped a boob half-tumbling out of the too-small tank top back in place. Alarik’s gaze lingered there as I did and I sighed, shifting my front away from him and hugging my legs to my chest.
